  1. I think V40 is still the most flexible one. Only use v50 if you are interested in closer realism!
  2. V50 is further improved 3d and realism, but still has a good way to render cartoony pics.
  3. V40 is merged with Illustrious 2.0 and I've further (hopefully) made 3d and realism better if you prompt for it.
  4. V31 is merged with Illustrious 1.1 and I've also tried to make it more "3d-friendly", so do try it out!
  5. V20 is merged with Illustrious 1.0. It's gonna be a very similar look but over all I think everything looks a little better in the new version.

  6. Sampling method: Euler a
    Sampling steps: 20-30
    Width: 832
    Height: 1216
    CFG Scale: 5-7

    For upscaling I like: R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B

    These can be placed in Positive before your prompt for some quality enhancing:

    masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, absurdres, newest

    I also find this simple tag to be very useful: lips


    And as usual I always recommend Hi-Res Fix, and Adetailer for the faces.
